Oxnard man hit, killed by vehicle near McGrath State Beach

A vehicle hit and killed a 23-year-old Oxnard man who was reportedly walking in traffic lanes Monday night near McGrath State Beach.

The crash was reported about 9:10 p.m. near West Gonzales Road and North Harbor Boulevard. The California Highway Patrol had received reports minutes earlier of a man walking in the lanes, said Officer Steve Reid, a Ventura-area spokesman for the patrol.

Officials said a 26-year-old Camarillo woman was driving a vehicle north on Harbor when the vehicle hit the man, who later was identified as Trevor Nelson, of Oxnard.

The driver pulled over and cooperated with investigators. She was not arrested or cited, authorities said.

The man suffered major head injuries, was taken to Ventura County Medical Center in Ventura and later was pronounced dead, Reid said.

Investigators closed Harbor after the incident and reopened it shortly after 10:30 p.m., the patrol said.
